San Diego, CA, June 29, 2022 --(PR.com)-- The Cal Coast Cares Foundation has announced that $150,000 in scholarships has been awarded to support college-bound high school seniors, current or former foster students and current college students in San Diego or Riverside Counties.
The non-profit foundation awarded $2,000 scholarships to selected students who have a goal of pursuing higher education, have proven dedication to academic excellence and community leadership, and met the application criteria. Recipients of first-year foster student scholarships are also eligible for second-year scholarships if they meet certain minimum academic requirements.
